Hush

Come nel caso di Gimme Some Lovin, molti (ad essere onesti… anch’io, fino a poco fa) attribuiscono erroneamente la paternità del brano in oggetto ad una band più famosa (in questo caso i Deep Purple) rispetto all’artista che lo suonò la prima volta. Dico “suonò”, poichè a scriverlo fu un altro ancora…
Mi permetto quindi di sfatare questo “mito” che si tramanda da anni.
Infine, come al solito, ne approfitto per mostrarvi una cover che modernizza il suddetto brano in maniera molto efficace.

Billy Joe Royal – Versione originale

I got a certan little girl she’s on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She’s the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she’s gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I’m not to blame now

They got it early in the morning
They got it late in the evening
Well, I want that, need it
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She’s got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I’m in so deep
That I can’t eat and I can’t sleep

Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and Im not to blame now

They got it early in the morning
They got it late in the evening
Well, I want that, need it
Oh, I gotta gotta have it
